And yet what is behind the curtain?

Maybe you should get a job?

I think there are enough people like him in customer service as it is.

I actually was talking to you.

I have a job, thank you very much, and it's the reason I always regret staying up until like two in the morning.

So, maybe you should quit your job?

Not likely; I like having money to be able to pay for things. Like food and rent.

And air?

I wouldn't pay for that unless I had a better selection to choose from.

Oh yeah...you live in one of those cities, eh?

Yeah, one of those city things. I hear they've got quite a few of them these days.

Yeah...good thing it hasn't hit Utah, save for SLC, of course.

Columbus isn't actually that bad, as cities go for air pollution. In Phoenix, blue made up only the upper half of the horizon - everything for a mile up was turd brown.

Yeah, and hot as hell.

In December and January, Phoenicians will taunt the rest of the country with 50 degree weather, saying "ha ha, don't you wish you lived here right now!"

 

They're pretty silent the rest of the year.

I like the snow.  We got an inch today.  :D

You know, I actually don't mind snow. It's the cold I mind. Yes I know that doesn't exactly make sense.

Today I went over to my uncles and helped tip their hot tub on its side.

Time for the midnight barn raising?

First, we had to clean it out, because he 'convieniently' forgot to put the cover over it for the fall and winter.  So, we got water full of leaves sitting for about eight months.  Needless to say, I took a shower when I got home and burned all my clothes that I had wore.

*snort* That's nothing. Every cookie-cutter house in Phoenix come with a pool in the backyard. Which you should not leave uncleaned for two straight summers, lest it turn into a miniature swamplike ecosystem complete with original species of toad and a horrible, horrible stink.

 

Needless to say, I speak from experience.

Well, needless to say, I wouldn't want to experience either case ever again.  EVER!

*fills Toy's nose with candle wax* Problem solved.

I'd rather not have to destroy anymore of my clothes, so problem not solved.  I can breathe through my mouth (though I can almost taste it) - it's better than smelling it.

Taste and smell are the same sense anyway.
